Boost Mobile to get first Android slider soon

Samsung's M930 slider handset will arrive at prepaid provider Boost Mobile, PocketNowreported on Friday. The Android 2.3-powered smartphone will get a 1GHz Qualcomm chip, a 480x320 touchscreen display and a camera that could have a lowly, two-megapixel sensor. The handset has passed Bluetooth and Wi-Fi certifications, but has not yet been seen at the FCC.

Ship dates or pricing for the M930 aren't yet known, though it's not likely to arrive for a month or two. When it arrives at Boost, it's also likely to get a new model name rather than going by just the model number.
